This is a book I have been wanting to read for a long time. It's amazing in its detail and use of language. I was transported to dusty hot California instantly. It's a short book that could have been expanded but it's still enjoyable. Two laborers are travelling from job to job as farmhands. George, who smarter, takes care of the dim-witted Lennie. They dream of a place to call their own where they work only for themselves. Their dream is predictably crushed when Lennie gets in trouble again. In the end, George is forced to "send off" Lennie towards that dream... Sad. Good. 8.
